6th (DNF): 1974 Lincoln Thrift, Bobby Colean

​

​Lexy Brandt showed continued maturation and development as a driver, taking the victory in style in the inside lane. Steve Kinney might have had more speed on the outside with the Squire Shop, but Lexy kept it tight to the buoys to advance after a 5 lap dual. Rookie Corey Moore capped off a successful day with a 3rd place with Jake Jones taking the last finishing spot with the flighty Miss U.S.

2nd: 1982 Gilmore Special, Josh Culver

3rd: 1983 American Speedy Printing, Lexy Brandt

5th (DNF): 1984 Team Velocity, Mike Henriksen

6th (DNF): 1987 Eliminator, Dave Brandt

7th (DNF): 1977 Miss Esquire Products, Aidyn Brandt

​

A little first-turn chaos caused some distraction, and the Eliminator inexplicably cut a buoy in the first turn, earning a one-lap penalty. That put the Miller American into the lead, and it was one that Paxton would not relinquish, taking the opening victory. Josh Culver took his best finish in R/CU, finishing 2nd and holding off Lexy Brandt, who came up from the trailer to finish 3rd.

​

DNS: 1983 American Speedy Printing, Bill Brandt

​

There was a little pre-race battle as everyone went for lane one, with Joey Caines emerging from the fray to take the victory and send the Miss Renault into the final. The Miss Circus Circus hit a buoy on the backstretch, ensuring that the Eagle Electric capped off a successful day with a 2nd place.

​

1/8th Scale Final

2nd: 1974 Miss U.S., Steve Kinney

3rd: 1978 Squire Shop (U-64), Aidyn Brandt

4th (DNF): 1983 American Speedy Printing, Mike Malloy

5th (DNF): 1983 Miss Renault, Joey Caines

6th (DNF): 1978 Squire Shop (U-65), Dave Brandt

7th (DSQ): 1988 Miss Stroh's Light, Scott Meyers

​

This final started a bit chaotic, as the Squire Shop U-65 overturned in the first turn, spinning right in front of the American Speedy Printing, who went over the top of the boat. The Miss Renault also went over the Squire Shop as it arrived on the scene from the trailer position. The Miss Stroh's Light was called by the judges for encroaching on the Squire from the outside, and was disqualified for causing the boat to spin. With a whole debris field to navigate in the left turn, it was tough driving for the remaining boats. Jim Brittain took the lead on the inside, and while the Miss U.S. challenged on the outside, Jim was able to hold off Steve and take his 3rd consecutive Atomic Cup, an impressive 3-peat! Aidyn Brandt rounded out the podium with the U-64 Squire Shop.
